this is a good thing. fans aren’t entitled to these characters, and every writer should take every opportunity they can to actively alienate and piss off their fans. maybe every work of fiction shouldn’t give the audience everything it wants 100 percent of the time

oh boo hoo the post-apocalyptic zombie game doesn’t have a happy ending who could have predicted this

dude i’m a fan of anime and i’ll be the first to say that anime blows ass

did somebody accidentally drive a metal rod through the part of your brain that lets you identify hyperbole?

stuff like this is why i think it would be a mistake to spare aerith in a certain other franchise, even if i generally support that other franchise’s recent decisions

there is a giant-ass spoiler warning tag between the first and second paragraphs, don’t know what else to tell you

no, cloud “killed” sephiroth during the nibelheim incident in the OG game, too. tossed him off a bridge into the lifestream. i think it played out differently in CC tho

heh, now i’m imagining part 2, where instead of actively interceding, the whispers just hang out on the sidelines complaining. cloud heroically blocks sephiroth’s killing blow, saving aerith, and some shitty ghost in the background just moans “....this sucks, you guys....”

I think I’ve come to terms with the ending by this point. I’m a little disappointed in how the whole thing plays out (the Whisper Harbinger and the Whisper Sisters are really ugly and not enjoyable to fight at all), but I guess I can live with where the story is going from here. And even if the ending was 10x worse…

The FF13 stagger system is one of the series’ best mechanics over the last decade, bringing it back was one of the best decisions they could have made.

The implications of the ending are interesting, I’ll grant it that. But, considering the strengths of the game are its character interactions and its detailed world design, making the climax of the game a fight against a bunch of nonverbal goons made out of crinkled candy wrappers amidst a pile of disparate floating…

the worst part about this whole bit was the fact that Shinra’s plans are explicitly confirmed midway through the Train Graveyard, so then you’re doing some ghost-hunting busywork as your friends die to save the slums. There’s even a bit after you kill the Ghost Chariot where, instead of rushing to save everyone you…

i did chocobo sam’s quests, but then when i checked my completed quests later on in chapter 14 it looked like they somehow didn’t take. guess that explains why i got cloud’s black dress

The primary theory I’ve seen for the chalk outline and moon blood is that, during Second Impact, Adam split into four entities — glimpsed during a Katsuragi flashback during 1.11 or 2.22, can’t remember which — causing a colossal explosion that stained the seas red, washing one of the four proto-Adams over to…

I hope you're referring to something other than the chalk outline and the blood on the moon, because there's far more compelling evidence that those are something else 

they don’t, but i can see why you’d think so

lesser audiences

i like how you see him and his buddies hanging out in the slums a few minutes later. they tearfully defend shinra’s honor from a giant anarchist on the train, and then go home to live in absolute squalor because of shinra. pitch perfect

something like that one wasp that lays its eggs in a live spider so its larva can feast on it from the inside out, but with materia or whatever

wild that my dad was charles bronson from death wish this whole time and i never realized
